1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Co-administration of atorvastatin and fenofibrate has demonstrated clinical benefits in patients with dyslipidemia. To improve convenience and adherence, a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the two agents has gained interest. This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and safety of an FDC of atorvastatin/fenofibrate 20/145 mg with the corresponding individual components. A randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-sequence, two-treatment, four-period full replicated crossover study was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two sequences and received FDC or individual components. PK parameters were estimated using a non-compartmental method. The geometric mean ratio (GMR) and its 90% confidence interval (CI) of the FDC to the individual components were calculated using mixed effect model. A total of 36 participants completed the study. The GMRs (90% CIs) for maximum plasma concentration and area under the time-concentration curve from zero to the last measurable point were 1.1038 (0.9985-1.2202) and 1.0148 (0.9745-1.0567) for atorvastatin, 1.0032 (0.9261-1.0867) and 0.9882 (0.9520-1.0258) for 2-OH atorvastatin. For fenofibric acid, the corresponding values were 0.9896 (0.8810-1.1116) and 0.9871 (0.8869-1.0986), respectively. The FDC of atorvastatin/fenofibrate 20/145 mg showed comparable PK profiles to the corresponding individual components, supporting its potential as an alternative therapeutic option for dyslipidemia with convenience.
